The Stow Horse Fair is held twice a year, typically on the Thursday closest to 12th May and the Thursday closest to 24th October, however, we would recommend checking the exact date ahead of placing your booking. This is a traditional fair for gypsies and travelling people to meet up and trade which dates back to 1476 when its Charter was granted. Stow is very busy for a day or two before and after each fair, and a number of shops, pubs and restaurants are closed. Whilst many visitors enjoy the colour and vibrancy associated with the fairs, other visitors prefer to avoid Stow on these dates
If required, there are electric charging points at the Tesco on the Fosse Way
Please note that the ensuites for bedrooms 3 and 6 do not have doors

Family Easter holiday

We were a family group of 13 - age range 16 to 84. And we had 2 dogs with us. Property worked really well and was very comfortable with lots of space that worked for everyone. It was exactly as described, especially about the uneven floors, so the older family members had the bedroom downstairs & this worked really well. We really loved the outside space and took advantage of the sunny weather. Kitchen was well equipped & set up for a big group and we cooked several meals where all of us ate together.We also had no problem with finding parking. Would thoroughly recommend.

80th birthday celebration

Fabulous time had by all. 2 minor considerations. Didn’t feel the kitchen was as well equipped as expected- lack of bowls, garlic crusher etc. also stairs were quite tricky to negotiate so may well be worth mentioning
